Abstract
In the surgical treatment of maxillofacial fractures, in order to achieve accurate reduction and stable fixation, it is necessary to have a good knowledge of appropriate fracture treatment instruments and the skills to use them at the right time. In this paper, we explain the structure, usage and clinical application of dissectors, hooks, intermaxillary fixation-related instruments, reduction instruments and osteosynthesis device-related instruments, classifying them into each category. In particular, ease of use for the surgeon contributes to improved surgical precision, so it is important for the surgeon to be familiar with the characteristics of the instruments and to choose them accordingly.
